been working out the top of the nacelles today.
not glued in yet as i am just working out the shape.
the motors sit very high in the nacelle, so i will have to design a ply mounting system to take them.
plus side is that there will be plenty of space under the motors to take the esc's and give them some nice cooling air flow.

once i am happy with the shape, i intend to plank the whole thing and have a removable front section over the motor.
